A Moment Captured in Time


Poignantly the Japanese spacecraft Kaguya found it's final resting place silently on the moon - chronicled by a Japanese HD video that I found to be quite sad.

As one last service to Mankind it also detected lunar uranium deposits, leading visionaries to hope for Man's return and successful colonization.

But I'm sure that some partially educated Green-bending fool would call it Colonialization, to whit this exchange in comments - another moment captured in time:
What? Solar isn't a good option? Solar is the best option. Every second, the sun produces and provides more energy in that 1 second of light than man has ever created in history. How is solar a bad option?
...
"How is solar a bad option?"
Um... because night on the Moon lasts 14 days?

I pray for our country.

Very cool video..I wonder if the end shot was it crashing into a crater.
